thanks again for your reply and if I came across obnoxious, please accept my apology.Yes you can always consider another interpretation, which I always look at, and then so can you. If I remember correctly you said my interpretation was "unbiblical". All I did was point out what Paul said. The interpretation is not that hard, unless you are trying to make it fit your doctrine, then you do have to twist it a little.

It is very apparent you don't believe one has to be baptized and Paul thinks otherwise. Why didn't you start out with where he says, "I belong to Paul"....and so on.Then he asked is " Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were you baptized into the name of Paul? Tell us what it would take to " belong to Paul?" "Cephas?" "Apollos?" In order to "belong" to any of these mention they would have had to die for you and you would have to be baptized into their name.

Now again I ask you about Christ. Did Christ die for you? were you baptized into his name? If so, you belong to Christ.Why does Paul just mention himself? Because whatever applied to him, applied to the others.Or do you disagree with that? The point is you can put any name in there and it would apply to that person also. Joseph Smith? John Calvin? I guess since Paul didn't mention these guys by name it would be ok. That is your logic.Do you belong to John Calvin? Should be easy to answer. Did he die for you? Were you baptized into his name?

So I would like for you to tell us in this context in order to "BELONG" to Jesus, what two things had to take place. I say that he had to die for you and you have to be baptized into his name. What do you say?

Campbellite response? Right beside John Calvin? So Mark 16 should say," he that believes and is NOT baptized shall be saved, but he that disbelieves shall be condemn". So tell us, why is baptism mentioned at all? Also would a unbeliever be baptized? Anyways, tell us which is correct.

1 Peter 3:21 again tell us which is correct.
1) Baptism does now save us
20 Baptism does not save us.

The Eunuch is not an assumption, it is based on the other conversions in the book of Acts. Acts 2 is but one. Lastly you state throug grace alone, faith alone, in Christ alone. So you mean someone doesn't have to Repent? Confess? Call on his name?

If you have the time, please give us the scripture that teach such. Also while you hate my antagonism and disrespect, you might look in the mirror. I promise I will try and do better....but lets see, I had an unbilical response and then I follow Campbell.

I close this by asking you some questions.

1} Is baptism a command?
2) from Jesus, man or neither?
3} If from Jesus, can I refuse to obey this command?
4) If I refuse, do I love him or hate him?

You take care and hope to talk with you soon....and if I offend you, please know I am not trying to do so.

1. he that believes and is baptized shall be saved
2. he that believes is saved and can be baptized if he wants
